In a boxcar in the moonlight

In the open in the place

You are sleeping on my jacket

And I'm waiting for a change



When we started at a crossing

Down the valley from your home

In the morning we'll be missing

We'll be rolling, well be gone



When your parent's ultimatum

Made it easy to decide

We went running to the river

To say good-bye



We heard something come a rolling

Going slowly for a change

And the boxcar, it was so easy

It was so perfect, it was strange



But we trusted in the moment

For the timing to begin

And we held on to the handle

And we're in



In a boxcar in the moonlight

In the open, on a plane

You are sleeping on my jacket

And I'm waiting for a change



And I'm waiting for a change
